Pros:

L'accueil et la propreté

Cons:

L'environnement.
Nous sommes allés le week-end de Pâques, il y avait des sacs poubelles ouverts à foison, dans chaque rue...

C'est vraiment dommage ça nuit indirectement à l'établissement.

MUY RECOMENDABLE
Pros:

1. Ubicación, está a 5 minutos de la estación de trenes de brussel midi y a 5 de la parada de metro.
2. Había un smart TV
3. Supermercado cerca (en la misma estación está el carrefour express)
4. Todo limpio.
5. Calefacción
6. Teníamos un balcón
7. Francesco fue muy amable en todo momento. Nos quedamos sin luz y corriendo lo solucionó.
8. Seguridad en la entrada del edificio. Tienes que pasar 3 puertas con claves.

P.D: me devolvieron el dinero de la fianza al día siguiente de irnos, usé la tarjeta de Revolut para ello, por si eso os sirve de ayuda.

Cons:

1. Las almohadas fueron muy finas, incómodas
2. El barrio es de inmigrantes, por lo que es verdad que tiene mala pinta, pero realmente no hubo ruido de peleas ni nada.
3. No había champú solo gel de baño
4. No había enchufe cerca de las camas. Solo una de ellas.
